[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think sending a link of the exact style, color and size of a very specific item is rude. The gift giving becomes so transactional at that point. Like families who exchange $50 gift cards to various places of everyone’s choosing. Also some of the older people I know don’t shop online much so that may be off putting. It’s the thought that counts. So what if she didn’t grant OPs exact wish list.[/quote] I'm sorry, what exactly is rude about telling your MIL what color, style and size of an item you want? You want to buy people things that are the wrong size, color (yes, that too) or style? Better to buy less stuff that people want than more of what they don't want. Gift giving is always transactional, which is why we normally give gifts to people we expect a gift in return. [/quote]
